🔍 DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME ??? 🔎

This cute pup was found this morning off Dawson Street in Dartmouth. They are currently safe and warm but I'm sure would love to get back to their own home and family.

If you recognize this dog or have any information that would help us get them home, please contact our hospital by phone at 902-463-7610!

Harbour Cities Vet Hospital will be *closed* on Monday, February 17th for Nova Scotia Heritage Day!

This year Nova Scotia is honoring Nora Bernard, a Mi'kmaq activist and community leader who fought for justice for Residential School survivors. Nora herself was a survivor of the Shubenacadie Residential School and went on to lead the largest class-action lawsuit in Canadian history, which ended up representing more than 70,000 survivors and settled for more than five billion dollars.
Nora's life was tragically taken in 2007, but her legacy will live on for years to come as she is remembered by friends, family, and the community. ❤

Some great information from our friends at Maritime Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Centre - MVESC! 🐾❄️

As you know, roads can start getting icy this time of year. A common de-icing product known as rock salt is a mixture of sodium chloride that helps reduce ice build-up on roads.

What you may not know is that rock salt can be extremely dangerous to pets - especially when ingested or licked from paws and fur. Symptoms of salt poisoning include drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.

If you suspect your pet may have ingested rock salt, contact Maritime at
902-938-0838 right away. You can also connect with the Pet Poison Helpline at 1-855-764-7661.
